Hairline crack in plaster

[coachhim]

Discovered a 2-3 foot long hairline crack in the pool plaster? Any suggestions on repairing? I'm not losing water from what i can tell.

We've had a few cracks in our plaster over the years. One in 2013 leaked water. Our PB fixed all of them with 2 part putty. He mixed white and black together to sorta match the plaster color and stuffed it into the crack with his fingers. He cleaned out the cracks a bit with a flathead screwdriver first. All of the repairs have held up fine. No leaks since 2013.

PB? Did you drain the pool?

 

[pooldv]

No, that work was done with the pool full. The putty cures underwater. Actually, thanks to TFPC my pool has never been drained since day one in 2012.

Lol . Thanks I'm new here. Wonder what putty he used

No worries, lol. It's a 2 part epoxy that I think is just called pool putty, it comes in black and white. I think that Inyo Pools sells it.

Gotcha thank you

Oh yeah. Definite candidate for a structural crack repair. We would use a torque lock staple kit to fix the issue then try to color match the plaster as best as possible.

Expensive, but easy.

it comes in black and white.

Might it be this brand?
